Analysis Of Antimicrobial Resistance Profiles of Escherichia Coli Isolated from Pre-Harvest Produce in Lebanon

El Khechen, Sarah (9/13/2022)

Antimicrobial resistance is an emerging global problem and particularly in Lebanon and other countries in the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region. Of notable concern is the contamination of fresh produce with ...
Assessment of LAI derived from HLS Landsat Sentinel-2, S2 THEIA, and SNAP for crops in Bekaa (Lebanon)

Mourad, Roya (9/23/2020)

Background: Leaf area index (LAI) is an essential indicator of crop development and growth. Proper satellite-based LAI estimates at the farm-level often require near-daily imagery at medium to high spatial resolution. The ...
Assessment of the Microbiological Acceptability of Akkawi Cheese in Beirut and the Antimicrobial Resistance Profiles of Associated Escherichia coli

Daher Hussein, Nasri Hassan (5/18/2022)

Lebanon, like many other developing countries, suffers from the toll of emerging foodborne pathogens and antibiotic resistance within its food systems. Very little data is collected on the presence of foodborne pathogens ...
Dissemination of mcr-1-carrying Escherichia coli in Seawater and Sewage Across Lebanon

Sourenian, Tsolaire (2/27/2021)

Antibiotic resistance has become one of the core public health concerns. Excess use and misuse of antibiotics, especially the last resort antibiotic, colistin, led to emergence and dissemination of colistin resistant ...
First Detection of the Plasmid-Mediated Colistin Resistance Gene, mcr-1, in Multidrug Resistant E. coli, in Backyard Animals in Lebanon

Assi, Ali (2024-05-14)

The increase in antibiotic resistance has jeopardized the use of what is dubbed as last resort antibiotic, Polymyxin E. Specifically, the dissemination of mobile colistin resistance (mcr-1) gene has imperiled the effectiveness ...
Investigation of Colistin Resistance and Heteroresistance in Enterobacterales Isolates from Poultry, Water and Clinical Specimens – Role of mcr-1 genes

El Azzi, Maria Joseph (8/10/2021)

Background: The mobilized colistin resistance, mcr genes, have attracted global attention, as they confer resistance to polymyxins, one of the last-resort antimicrobials’ family for the treatment of critical infections ...
Knowledge, Attitude and Practices among Lebanese Consumers towards the Risk Associated with the Consumption and Safety of Raw Meat

Ballout, Rouba (5/17/2022)

A key contributor to foodborne illnesses is the high consumption of raw food, including raw meat. The present paper aims to explore knowledge, attitudes and practices related to raw meat among Lebanese consumers. A ...
A Nationwide Assessment On The Occurrence Of Plasmid-Borne Mobile Colistin-Resistance Gene, mcr-1, In Escherichia Coli Isolated From Lebanese River Water

Hassan, Jouman (9/23/2020)

Colistin, a last resort antibiotic, is used to treat multidrug and extensively drug-resistant Gram-negative infections. However, colistin’s excessive use has led to the emergence of the plasmid-borne mobile colistin-resistance ...
The Occurrence of Plasmid Mediated Colistin Resistance Gene, mcr-1, in multi-drug Resistant Escherichia coli in fresh and Ready to eat vegetables in Lebanese Wholesale Markets

Zeidan, Mona (5/4/2021)

Antimicrobial resistance is increasing worldwide. Colistin, also known as polymyxin E, is a last resort antibiotic that is used to treat complicated Gram-negative bacterial infections when other antibiotics fail. Colistin ...
SURVIVAL AND FITNESS OF MCR-1-HARBOURING ESCHERICHIA COLI ON SELECTED PRODUCE

Grazza, Sarra (2/7/2022)

Antimicrobial resistance is a global public health concern. Colistin, also referred to as polymyxin E, is a last resort antibiotic used to treat complicated bacterial infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria when other ...
